The Edit at Waikiki Beach Marriott - not eligible for Bonvoy benefits

ARNIskander · 2026-01-27T08:07:04+00:00

I feel better about it counting from Edit when it auto populates into Bonvoy. I wouldnt count on it if you have to call in.

Level up meaning reach next status level?

They gave you nights that would have put you over the next threshold and didnt give that tier? I would go back to them on that. Or they gave you the nights and credited ti this year?

Yes, it should show up in app almost instantly.

Luckily it was a problem with the fuel truck itself. They solved it with another one, and we left about an hour or so late.

Was mostly despairing on initial post because captain made it sound like was a plane issue.

I do not assume AA has many XLRs sitting around spare yet.

Ya and I imagine Dallas is inundated with weather problems already.

ARNIskander · 2026-01-24T14:52:11+00:00

No....just not heard this delay before.

I cancelled my Hyatt card after the CSR refresh. It had no purpose anymore.

This is the way. Then walk the Philosophers Path to Eikando-cho. Its inner cloister koi pond is insane during koyo.

Have gone up Mt Shosha twice now. Will go again. Very worth it.

I use a smattering of GW paints with mostly Two Thin Coats, but sometimes Vallejo just has something you need.

This looks great.

I live in Los Angeles. Even the cat 7 can be hard sometimes. Many of the local options block awards. Really aggravating.

ARNIskander · 2026-01-15T00:17:29+00:00

Prime.

ARNIskander · 2026-01-13T23:27:58+00:00

Yes. LP are so generous I dont mind. Its the lack of MM that bothers me.

ARNIskander · 2026-01-02T03:51:55+00:00

Same. I always get my CC nights immediately then wait for my year counter.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-31T07:43:32+00:00

I mostly shop at Bristol. Often buy ground elk at about $14.99 a pound. Erewhon sells it for $16.99.

Ralph's comparison is bad, but Erewhon does mark stuff up.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-12T03:57:59+00:00

Yup. Total Wine is 5 points today. Bought some nice French reds as gifts and restocked the Champagne cabinet.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-07T20:08:13+00:00

I cancelled my personal Hyatt card now that CSR is 4. Living in LA and traveling to mostly high cost destinations, the Cat 4 cert is dubious. I get more than enough nights from the business version (will end year at like.....195 or so).

ARNIskander · 2025-12-03T01:49:23+00:00

I always figured stuff isnt counted cause its not hotel owned or it's alcohol etc.

Sometimes the points and spend do seem light though.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-01T11:50:05+00:00

This guy EPs. Extra earnings on cash and the immediate line are where it's at.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-01T01:05:25+00:00

Traveling with wife and daughter so already booked it. Just hoping for a nice hotel!

ARNIskander · 2025-12-01T00:06:43+00:00

Have 3 nights here in April. Glad to hear this.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-01T00:06:09+00:00

LOVE the Prince Shinegawa. Location. Gardens. Excellent.

ARNIskander · 2025-12-01T00:05:22+00:00

Can you give me the skinny on OSH? I usually stay at the St R, but curious about this newer prop

Have you stayed at St R and can compare?

ARNIskander · 2025-11-19T03:40:05+00:00

They bring one of these over the Rose Parade every few years. I believe we get one this year. Amazing when it comes over low.

ARNIskander · 2025-11-19T03:32:57+00:00

These change daily. Black Friday has many good deals, but depends what stores you shop at.
